Trouble With Dreams » twd http://troublewithdreams.com Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:05:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 en Dusted http://troublewithdreams.com/2007/04/25/dusted/ http://troublewithdreams.com/2007/04/25/dusted/#comments Wed, 25 Apr 2007 00:06:14 +0000 sam http://troublewithdreams.com/2007/04/25/dusted/ I’m not sure I’ll ever be entirely happy with the appearance of something I’ve designed entirely.

In other news, Felix Laband’s music is genius.

Events have clearer significance, thoughts and words show entirely different meanings and subtleties, stresses fall in different places and most importantly, everything takes a little less effort.

In other words, I’ve completely redesigned the site and am quite happy with the current outcome. It’s an extension of this Sandbox theme. Really quite elegant, in appearance and (for the happy nerd inside me) in design and execution. And while it’s Easter there’ll be plenty more time to extend.

Hurrah.

PS. Stumbled across this. Catch it while it lasts.

A page for scripts and maybe a page for words will hopefully appear too, though there’s little chance of anything substantial before a holiday of some kind.

Saw ‘Trail of Dead at (the?) Oran Mor in Glasgow last night, the songs I knew, aka those on Source Tags & Codes, were almost spiritual, most of the others were rocking, a couple were plain and went on too long. Forget Cassettes supported, early PJ Harvey-esque in style with some very catchy hooks and great drops. .. They started their set with a repetitive, low dirge, gradually building in tension and climaxing in noise when the singer opened her mouth and .. woah .. the sound she made was horrible. And then she stopped shouting loud and the acoustics of the place started working or something, it sounded a lot better.

The same went for ‘Trail of Dead, it almost spoilt a few of the songs.

But anyway, on with the Maths that follows my life :/

The Radiohead stuff is up too, lots of formatting changes to make though.

Man: Someone has stolen the ball in my mouse.
Me: Have another ball.
Man: Thank you.

A few minutes later -

Man: I can’t work out how to get the ball in this damn thing.
Me: That’s an optical mouse.
Man: Oh.
